Getting back into dating
51 Answers
You who know me on here, know I my relationship broke up last year (yawn) and thanks to all who listened (bez, sleepy) especially.
But the way the relationship ended, has dented my self esteem. He moved away for a big salary. And brand new car. After being together for nearly 4 years. (says a lot about me huh!) lol
But I am now well over him. But am finding it hard to move on and wanting to meet anyone else. I cant be bothered to try even.
Online dating doesnt really appeal to me.
I sort of want to be with someone, but to be honest, am scared of getting hurt all over again.
p.s. had a couple of glasses of wine, if not I would not of posted this lol

Petal -dont listen to the cynics.
I KNOW people who have got to KNOW fellas on-line dating and they are now either living with them or married.
It works -its no different from meeting some guy in the pub.
I would defo do it and I hate stigma atached to it cos the majority of people are moving on from a failed realtionship and are now finding it hard to get into the local social scene -I would far rather get to know someone on here.
Go for it it hun -I have set 2 of my mates up in the past and they had a blast -only thing was they had to come to mine to check messahes and it became a bit tedious for me.

Petal dont listen to him honestly -he is just a cynic.
Before all this PC lark some of my colleagues put an ad in the paper and they met some of the guys and 3 of them ended up married -and they were/are cracking guys.
Obv its moved on from there but what have you to lose -involve a pal so you can have a bit of fun looking and deciding.

thanks Drisgirl. I do know of 2 friends of mine who have met partners through online dating. I think my problem is really in my head. Am 46 with 4 children living with me, and I think that most men would see me as someone "old" with baggage (think its the term men use for women with kids)
I would rather meet someone in a pub, so you know them instantly face to face, rather than chatting to someone on line, but as I don't have a social life really as when I am not working, I am looking after my kids. Online dating seems the only option I have of meeting anyone.
Maybe I should just stay single!

legend, I think it works both ways. I think there are a lot of women on the sites too who also just look for sex.
Thanks Drisgirl. I think I am just really scared of getting involved with someone. And it all falling apart. I know its part of life etc. But been there done it, and really don't want to go back there. If you know what I mean
